The House Oversight Committee plans contempt charges after the Clintons refused bipartisan subpoenas, citing disagreement over testimony format.

The Clintons refused to comply with bipartisan subpoenas for sworn testimony regarding their connections to Jeffrey Epstein, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., citing an unacceptable offer to hold a private, untranscribed interview. Comer announced plans to proceed with contempt proceedings after rejecting the proposal, citing a lack of transparency. The legal team for the Clintons denied refusing to cooperate, claiming that the disagreement is about the format of the testimony rather than the Clintons' willingness to testify. A vote on contempt, which may result in criminal prosecution, is scheduled for the committee.
